It is better to give than receive.

By Tom Grassano | Jan 16, 2014

For over 20 years, we have seen how some types of giving are constructive and join long-term strategies of empowerment but other types of giving can truly be “band-aids” that further disempower people and rob them of dignity, providing little more than momentary relief that is not partnered with strategies for long-term change.

And it is not wrapped around the personality of man; It is enveloped in the Person of Christ. Revival will cost you your spiritual comfort, your affections, your motives .. sometimes even your relationships as other choose not to travel to the depths of Christ that you have chosen to descend.

It costs you your life! . . . and it is worth it.

I was hungry . . .

By Tom Grassano | Oct 18, 2012

“I was spiritually hungry, and you gave me the Word. I was thirty, and you led me to the wellsprings of salvation. I was a stranger living outside of His mercy, and you brought me into the family of God …”
